The role of propagule pressure, genetic diversity and microsite availability for Senecio vernalis invasion.

Genetic diversity is supposed to support the colonization success of expanding species, in particular in situations where microsite availability is constrained. Addressing the role of genetic diversity in plant invasion experimentally requires its manipulation independent of propagule pressure. To a...
